Use External Request to trigger Integromat webhook

But how do you trigger an Integromat webhook so you can start a scenario?

I’ll show you how.

But let’s tackle something first.

You cán trigger a webhook using the standard Trigger Integromat action.

But this doesn’t allow you to customize anything.

It’s sending all the subscriber’s data over to Integromat, without giving you the possibility to change what you want to send and you can’t store the response you get back from Integromat in a Custom Field.

(more on response mapping later)

That’s why I don’t recommend using this, always use the External Request and not the Trigger Integromat action.

Hey Max, Thanks! Just wanted to follow up on this so people can avoid my mistakes (there were a number of them, but here are 2 I found that stopped the whole thing from working):

1. Definitely check spelling and number input. I had written “application/jasn” instead of “json” out of habit, as it’s part of my Instagram handle 😅.

2. When trying to save the Referrer’s UserID Payload on the RefURL to the receiving user’s Custom Field, I had created a numerical Custom Field. UserID is a #, so it seems like it would make sense to do this, right? For whatever reason, only textual Custom Fields can be selected to save the Payload, and text Custom Fields still accept numbers as values. I recreated ‘Invited by’ as a text custom field (missed that part, pretty sure you mention it haha) and everything works now.

Max thank you for external requests tutorial. And can I ask you? Please tell us how to implement data retrieval in Manychat From Google Sheets. For example, it is sometimes necessary to change data about different products (type, volume, price, color). I want to put these parameters in Google Sheets and then change them through the tables. And so that these changes are transmitted, for example, to the gallery of goods in the Manichat.

For example, a restaurant menu. Hawaiian Pizza, Paperoni, etc. It can be 30cm, 50cm and 1 meter. Beer is different draft and bottled. In bottles of 0.33l. and 0.5l. etc.

I cannot find anywhere a good explanation how to take away data from tables. And you are so good at explaining difficult things. And they become simple. Thank you for your help.
